Read by John Greenman

(4.6 stars; 374 reviews)

Tom Sawyer Abroad is a novel by Mark Twain published in 1894. It features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a parody of Jules Verne-esque adventure stories. In the story, Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic hot air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas to see some of the world's greatest wonders, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Detective, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn. (Summary by Wikipedia) (3 hr 6 min)

(5 stars)

this is a good book exept for one thing, the book seems to end so abrupt, although I still like it very much!!! I am used to listening to longer books like tom Sawyer, tom Sawyer abroad, and Huckleberry finn. it is probably not AS interesting as those books but I still like it lots. ( i probably like tom Sawyer better than tom Sawyer abroad or Huckleberry finn) is huck telling it as a tall tale or is it real? i know the truth but ,🤷‍♀️.the book is probably 4 ½ stars but the reader is 5 stars. I love readers like John Green man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this reader is 100 %recommend, he makes books come alive and each person has it's own voice! jims voice is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really good but one thing...


(4 stars)

I enjoyed this book very well, and yet, there is one thing I’m not sure of, it’s whether Huckleberry Finn was telling this as a tall tale or whether it really happened. (I of course know it’s fiction but still).

Hilarious and Entertaining


(5 stars)

I love when Tom and Huck argue about things like the map vs the land seen from the balloon, or balloon vs the flying horse.

Worst of of the first three


(2.5 stars)

The reader did an amazing job. But it's short nothing to keep you interested happens. And the ending doesn't really make sense.


(5 stars)

I love everything Twain, and this narrator is dynamite!

Really well read, but the story has not aged well.


(3 stars)

It starts well, with a burst of steampunk as Tom steals...well...borrows, a zepplin. He then travels to Egypt and sees its wonders. The problem is that you, having been exposed ot television, know all about the wonders, and there's no real plot lying under that cavalcade of wonders (which you, the modern reader) have already seen.

Return to the childhood


(3 stars)

It was really funkcji to go back to one of the first book heroes I have ever met, but I think that Mark Twain in this book wanted to make fun out of Julius Verne :)

Wonderful


(5 stars)

John makes the book what it is. His rendering of the boys and particularly Jim, is just magical. A fun-filled ride in a balloon craft, leads to lots of iinformation and adventure. Loved it.
